[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Rasabhanda in Yoga glossary
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

鲹ṇḍ (रसभाण्�) refers to a “bowl of liquid�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] At the very moment the highest reality manifests itself, [the Yogin] becomes absorbed in that [reality] which even the guru is not able to define [by saying], ‘this is it�. [The Yogin] should carefully avoid disturbances of speech, mind and body and should always hold himself very steady, like [one holds] a bowl of liquid (ṇḍ). [...]�.
